Mohaather to contest the highly talented renewal of the Sussex stakes Goodwood . Andrew Nelis

Marcus Tregoning is under no illusions as to the calibre of opposition Mohaather is set to tackle at Goodwood next week.
The Qatar Sussex Stakes is shaping up to be one of the races of the season, with British and Irish 2000 Guineas winners Kameko and Siskin set to face off over a mile on the Downs, and unbeaten dual Group One winner Earthlight another possible challenger for the Classic generation.
The older horse division is also set to be more than well represented, with Queen Anne winner Circus Maximus a likely contender along with Tregoning’s Mohaather, who had a luckless passage behind that rival at the Royal meeting but has since returned to Ascot to claim a bloodless victory in the Summer Mile.
Siskin's trainer Ger Lyons has already singled out Mohaather as his biggest concern on Tuesday - and Tregoning certainly reciprocates that healthy respect.

Current option wins for Aldo Mcguiness Andrew Nelis Racing

McGuinness saddled Saltonstall to land Tuesday's BMW Mile, before Sirjack Thomas doubled his tally on Saturday. Ryan was aboard both horses and had also ridden winners for Dermot Weld and Donnacha O'Brien during the course of the week.

Reviews on the latest at Longchamp France Andrew Nelis Racing

1.05 Longchamp Prix d'Harcourt (Group 2) | 1m2f | 4yo+ | SSR If the authorities could have chosen any horse trained in France to open today's festivities, then Sottsass would surely have got the vote. And while the atmosphere will be a muted one, there is no doubt that last season's European champion three-year-old would be a fitting winner to highlight the sport's return. Few outside the Jean-Claude Rouget camp would have paid particular attention to a pretty lacklustre first run of what would become a stellar three-year-old season when Sottsass was only fifth in the Prix La Force last April, a performance he comprehensively left behind in four subsequent efforts.  Sottsass only has a 2lb penalty for his Group 1 heroics to shoulder, while he is officially rated 7lb superior to his nearest rival, Shaman.  He proved in the Prix de Suresnes last May that he handles soft ground and a third place in the Arc backs up the theory that is no real inconve...
